New release

[imported_fulvio]

The new Zeroshell release 1.0.beta11 is available. The main new feature is the Net Balancer that allows to obtain the Load Balancing and Failover of the Internet links such as xDSL and UMTS/HSDPA ones.
The VPN bonding has been improved to allow to increase the bandwidth and stability of Layer 2 links between remote sites.
The 3G Mobile modems are now supported to make Zeroshell to act as UMTS and HSDPA router.
An issue regarding the stability of the web proxy with antivirus has been solved and the overall stability of the system improved.

Fulvio,

Thanks for the great product. I really like this fw and recommend it to everyone. I am having a problem with the new version though. I put in the beta11 CD and it runs fine, but ETH01 (which is set to DHCP) doesn’t get an IP address. This is what I see when I disabled and enabled the interface from the console

/root/kerbynet.cgi/scripts/set_dhclient: line 28: 5101 Aborted

when it put in the beta9 CD back in, no problem, I get an IP address and everything is fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Ok very bizzarre. I run ZS in a vmware environment. I removed the external NIC from the VM config, run ZS beta11, and remove the eth01 hardware. Shutdown ZS, and add the VM Nic, and restart beta 11 and now everything is fine…

Anyway…it’s working.

Thanks

Hi Fulvio,
thanks for the great work you are doing.
Could you please give a hint wich UMTS / GPRS Modems you are expecting to work with ZeroShell? USB connected for example?
Best regards

To IAZS:

IMHO you can backup your profile, then install beta 11 on pendrive, then restore your profile

I will try that this afternoon. I will post my results.

Hi!

I made the upgrade as mentioned earlier in this topic. Everything went fine. Thanks again for your help.

Now I have another problem. How can I update the remote VPN servers I have?

Best Regards.

At the moment a remote upgrade is not possibile. In the future automatic online upgrades will be possible for the compactflash releases.
